Dallas second half

49ERS FIRST DRIVE: Coffee ran well on the first drive, but Coffee couldn’t pick up Spencer on third down and Hill couldn’t covert.

COWBOYS FIRST DRIVE: Tarell Brown is in the game and he just made a play a short pass. Brown is starting at left corner, with Shawntae Spencer at right corner. Kentwan Balmer knocked down a screen pass on second downn and then forced an incompletion on third down. Kitna is in the game at QB. Balmer has now made two plays, he knifed in to drop Marion Barber for a loss in the firs half.

Damon Huard now takes over at QB. Hill finishes 9-of-17 for 79 yards.

49ERS SECOND DRIVE: Battle got open again for a first down throw. But that was it. Another sack, and then Huard couldn’t find anybody open on third down. Again, receivers aren’t getting open. Maybe the Niners really do need Michael Crabtree.

COWBOYS SECOND DRIVE: On first down, a little pressure from Manny, but he was getting blocked by a tight end. Blutz by the 49ers, that was effective and that forced an incompletion. Jeff Ulbrich providing pressure.

49ERS THIRD DRIVE: Nate Davis is in along with Brit Miller, Michael Spurlock and Kory Sheets. Sheets just busted one for 13 yards. They might have to put him on the active roster. The 49ers are going with their second-team offensive line. Wow, what a drive.

Davis using his throwing arm to find Joe Jon Finley and Spurlock. TDavis ties the game, and Damon Huard might what to find other work.

The best part of the drive was Davis’s decision making – he knew when to run, when to adjust in the pocket and when to find Spurlock on a bootleg bullet. Better decision making than either Hill or Huard.

FOURTH QUARTER

COWBOYS THIRD DRIVE: Eric Green is in at right cornerback. Tarell Brown has done a fine job making a pass breakup and two tackles near the line. The 49ers are having trouble with their gap control and running back Tashard Choice took advantage. Curtin Taylor also in the game. The Cowboys are now inside the 49ers’ 10

COWBOYS CONT: The 49ers hold them on third-and-short to force a field goal? In preseason? when you’re looking at 4th-and-inches from the 49ers’ 9? How many questions can I ask in a row? Kick is good. 13-10 Dallas.

49ERS FOURTH DRIVE: Alan Ball, the Cowboys cornerback, not the director, was hurt tackling Spurlock on the kickoff return. Ugly drive, with two penalties and too much for Davis to make up. Can’t blame Davis for that one.

49ERS SIXTH DRIVE: Brit Miller has got to make the practice squad. he looks like he’s been playing fullback his whole life. He’s only been playing it for about three weeks. Good drive by the 49ers, on third down they go taser on third down and go with an inside handoff like the two prior tasers. On 4th-and-2 from the 5, they decide for the Alex Romero short field goal to tie the score 13-13.

COWBOYS SIXTH DRIVE: Tarell Brown there again at left corner and causes an incompletion. It looks like with Brown playing left corner, he’s angling to be a backup, which would mean Bly would presumably be the starter.

49ERS SEVENTH DRIVE: Nate Davis will have a chance to win the game, but the drive starts at the 49ers 8. Davis is giving the 49ers a chance with getting a pass interference penalty, now he throws a long out to Zeigler and the play is being reviewed. I think Zeigler was in. This is a big drive for Zeigler. Davis gets the ball to Spurlock he gets to the 10 and then Dallas gets called for a horse collar. Davis is doing it. Unnbelievable. TD Kory Sheets. Wow. What desire by Sheets. The future looks bright for the 49ers. They lead 20-13.

They just showed Davis on the sidelines and he’s looking at the still photos, not celebrating his 91-yard drive. The guy is obviously diligent and he has mad skills.

The Dallas final drive is going nowwhere. The 49ers have won the game to go 3-0 in the preseason. The 49ers have a great second team and that includes Nate Davis.
